After owning a Black DropAlt this one caught my eye, with some new keycaps I had my eye on, this would match this colour perfectly. Spot on, I love the result and it keeps on making its way back on my desk.
Putting it together was simple, everything fit as it should; except for stabs. The stabilizer switch slots look visibly narrow than the others. The enter key area especially is so tight that stabilizers can't even move. I pulled stabs from another keyboard to check and they fit worse. Thankfully the space key area is better than the others, and after filing down the back and front housing of a pair, they worked well enough to not restrict the movement of the key. I just gave up on the other three; it doesn't hurt their functionality. Surprisingly no real issues inserting switches, firm fit but not too tight to break or remove them.

Looks amazing put together and is functional, but the issues really killed my enthusiasm.
I have to say this looks better in person, but like many others there are some tolerance issues with the plate its a very tight fit for some switch. I half broke my switch trying to pull it out. Now that i have it fit Up i'm probably not gonna changet the switches just because i'm afraid of what might happen when i pull out the switches.
Managed to grab this when it came up for sale again after checking every day (just in case!), delivery was reasonably quick to the UK after having paid the usual import charges.
The quality of the case is fantastic, no imperfections, quite heavy and solid and I love the off white colour.
I used my old Massdrop Alt PCB from the low profile version to this one with no issues, bought some Gateron Yellows, Gateron Stabilizers, Stupidfish foam, KBDFans Stab foam and the MT3 Susuwatari key caps to go along with it, no issues at all with fitting anything in, it is a bit of a tight fit with the foam but it does manage to squeeze in and it is worth it as there's no pinging at all.
All switches and stabs went in without issue and the fit is "just right", lubed the Gateron Yellows with Krytox 205G0 and the stabs with 205G0 on the stem and Permatex 22058 on the wire and they sound and feel incredible, couldn't be happier with them, never thought the Drop Alt would be my end game but I don't see a reason to change from this, for the time being at least.
I did have one little issue with the magnets on the back, when fully screwed in one was rattling but I just took them all out and put some little pieces of foam in their place.
